Lexi's Homecoming 2/12

When we arrived home with Lexi, Jacob and Grandma Moss were outside and ready to welcome us home. It was soooooo cute. Jacob was excited to see his mommy and daddy. He didn't really seem to take an interest in Lexi and it was pretty funny. We had a trunk full of toys (handed down to Jacob from my friend Jennifer Kent:). We came home with new toys for Jacob hoping it would help him with the transition of a new addition to our family. It really helped! To the right is a picture of Jacob and Heath playing with toys while Grandma and mom played with Lexi. I would probably say that Jacob didn't really seem to mind the new addition as long as Grandma or Dad were willing to play with him and all his new toys. Overall, the homecoming was great.

Heading home with Princess Lexi

Birth of Lexi Rose Avery

Waiting for the Doctor to get Lexi out!

Heath is getting ready to catch Lexi

7 pounds 14.5 ounces

18.5 inches long

Look at all the hair - wow!

Labor was induced on Sunday 2/10 at about 12:30 in the afternoon. I received an epidural a few hours later and it was fabulous - Jacob's labor was not as easy! Lexi arrived at 10:41 that evening. The hardest part of labor was being bored, haha. My mom and Heath were there during the labor and my dad stopped by for a few minutes on his way back to Arizona (He drove my mom all the way our here from Arizona then turned around to head back for work! Thanks dad!) My mom took lots of video while we were waiting and pictures as she could during the birth. Heath was there to hold my hand and to give me hugs and kisses. Heath was able to deliver Lexi!!! We love Dr. Matuga! Here's a few pictures of "our project" as our birthing classes call it.

No way.

Blogging for Dummies?

I finally made the first step into being a real mormon mommy...I have a blog. Thanks Tenille for the big push. Now that I have two beautiful kids I feel the need to share our family fun with our friends and family. haha big smile. TRUTH - I just need a hobby to keep myself sane now that I'm a stay at home mommy of 2. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty to do, but this is just so much fun! Here's a question that I have...Do I write all my blogs in the first person or do I write in the third person? Hmmm. {This is the crazy stuff I think about :} Do they have a book out there - "Blogging for dummies" ????? Hook me up with that book! No really, this is really hard stuff. Maybe I'm just computer illiterate. Well, that's it for now. Time to figure out where the help button is.
